Did they win the 2021 flag though?

Grinded is NOT a word.

Tx WCW. Demonstone would be proud.

So, the Demons have finally been knocked off their perch after the Dockers thrashed the Eagles yesterday. The thrashing in Perth assured Freo of top spot on the 2022 pre season ladder with only today’s Richmond v Geelong blockbuster replay of the 2020 grand final to complete the opening round.

* The anomaly of the round was the Collingwood v Hawthorn game played over six quarters (sixths) which ended in a 141 all draw but I’ve only counted the serious part which was the first three quarters that saw the Pies well in front at the not so final siren. The rest of that game was a bit like this series - somewhat Mickey Mouse.

I've heard that Grindr can get pretty tense at times.

Another reason to stay at Casey in 2022

West Coast

Cox, Nic Nat, Tim English - really?

Oh well. At least we get the double chance.

If the eagles are chasing Tim English then maybe Jackson has already told them no, you would think west coast would want Jackson before English

May as well not even bother with 2022. Mick Malthouse has said the bombers will win the flag.

I hope he has predicted us to miss the 8 again, like he did last year.

And their supporters are insufferable. And 1990, 1991, 1994 & 2018 - that's why they're one of my most hated club's.

yeah i made a mistake in my post - they're not a club, they're a franchise 😈

I guess it is pretty early to make judgements but having watched most of these 

practice games all the other teams apart from ours looked very disorganised.

Our systems are looking strong like our playing list

As someone mentioned on this thread the only team

I thought had outplayed us last yr was GWS. They were cruelled by

injuries last year.

So good to see West Coast struggling. 6 key players injured. Shepperd retired early. Darling and anti vax tard. 

 

Watched the highlights of Cats and Tigers. Geez the Tigers looked like they took a step back in time. Cats have seriously adjusted their game plan too but not sure it will be enough. Both look the goods for 2022. I get it’s only praccy matches but I think On that performance they are both a top 8 side.

Positive.

The above scores include the scores from the reserves game of three “quarters” that followed the real contest that finished with the Tigers in front 110 - 92.
